This presentation focuses on the digital collection, which includes a small, carefully selected portion of items from the much larger Music Services Collection as well as items from the Oregon Collection of Special Collections and University Archives. Currently the collection on music housed in boxes up in the Douglass Room has around 26,000 items. The digital collection has under 100, but is still growing.

Color images. Scanning information accompanies each image if you are interested in the details. All images are jpegs.

Copyright date before 1923 usually means the item is in the public domain. Although many items in the physical collection in the Douglass Room are more recent, only those items in the public domain were selected for digitization.

There are several titles that are not Oregon‐related and are not by women composersThere are several titles that are not Oregon related and are not by women composers.  Most are nostalgic or love songs. These have been included anyway to enhance the collection, and most items are unduplicated in other digital collections. For those items that are scanned elsewhere, many have different covers, feature different performers on the cover, or have different advertisements on the back cover.

This page gives brief background information about the project and information for participating departments that made the collection possible. There is a link to ordering individual prints of images from the Images Services department, but if your printer is of acceptable quality, this collection is of public domain items (many other digital collections are not).

This is the page with information about the collection at Music Services—all 26,000 items. There are links to the digital collection, the UO Women Composers ‘Scoreography’, the Sheet Music Consortium, and the Pacific Northwest Sheet Music at UW.

Selecting browse by title, composer, lyricist, and topic will result in a list of every item in the sheet music collection.

Browse by title leads to a screen with thumbnails of the covers, alphabetized by title. Initial articles (a, an, the) have been included, so “A Lucky Duck” is in the A’s, not the L’s.

Browse by composer lyricist and topic all have results displayed in a similar wayBrowse by composer, lyricist, and topic all have results displayed in a similar way.

In many cases, a single song will have more than one composer, lyricist, or topic. The alphabetical list is based on the first one.

Browse by collection currently takes you to the sheet music digital collection page, since there are currently only two collections. This may change as the collection expands.

View all topics is different—it is a linked list of all topics used, and clicking on a link will then give you the thumbnail view of all the music that has been assigned that topic.

Advanced search gives you the option to search by specific fields (or keywords) in any or all of the digital collections When you follow the link to advanced search ALL of theof the digital collections. When you follow the link to advanced search, ALL of the collections will be checked off, so if you only want to search the sheet music collection, you will need to uncheck the other boxes.

For the most part, only specific topics are identified, such as “Willamette River (Or.)”. Topics like love, moonlight, travel, etc. were also not assigned.

Topics that were assigned were names of people (dedicatees, photograph subjects, performers), places, events, and steamships.

If you recognize a performer on a cover but we haven’t identified them, please let us know! When possible, the formats and content of the topics, composers, and lyricists use theWhen possible, the formats and content of the topics, composers, and lyricists use the Library of Congress authorized names and headings, hence the seemingly excessive parentheses and dates. This format does allow us to control the list, so there aren’t multiple spellings of the same name.

Shown: search across all fields. This is like a keyword search but lets you search by exact phrase or use the “not” feature.

The selected fields option lets you search within a specific field but the fields are not labeled intuitively—the choices in the menu do not match the categories in the collection, so this is not recommended unless the label is clear (“title”), as you may miss items.

To add an item to your favorites, to save or use for a slideshow, you MUST choose “page” not “document”. This is because of the way the program that we use handles multi‐page items. (Technical term: compound objects.)

If you get this error once you are trying to view an item saved to your favorites, simply go back to your favorites and delete the document. Go back to the item and add the page for the image you want. It may be frustrating that all of your items will be title “Front Cover” “Page 1” etc. instead of the title of the song, but that means that pages, not documents, were saved, so the slideshow will work.
